When life gets tough, gives you a rocky road, mountains to climb, seas to cross and oceans to explore... You just need to enjoy the scenery. Make the most of the moment.

I haven't posted for so many months but I woke up this morning feeling this tranquilness, and wanting to post... My life has been hectic, manic, chaotic... and all those words don't even cover it. But each day I'm waking up trying to be stronger.

I'm glad Mister Sunshine is visiting more often and summer is slowly coming.

I'm getting used to waking up to sun shining through my windows and a summer morning breeze...Lying on my bed, embraced by duvets, blankets and marshmallow pillows. Listening to the birds sing.

Sometimes the simple things in life makes you the most content. And it makes me ready to walk those rocky roads, climb those mountains, cross the seas and dive down into the deepest of oceans.

It's a really sunny day today, so decided I should write... it's put me in a nice calm mood.
Not been too busy, but little bits and bobs in life take up so much time! And since I'm starting to write up my PhD, I've been trying to get some decent part of my chapter done before I see my supervisors.

Since it's New Year's Eve, I thought it was rather appropriate to sit down on my bed and tap this out on my laptop whilst I can hear the constant icy breeze blowing past my slightly ajar window, occasionally interrupted by the pop and cackle of fireworks in the neighbourhood.

Reminiscing over my Instagram photos this year I realised that actually, although time has flown by, a lot of things have happened this year. Traveling to various places, meeting new people, moving offices, progressing at work, eating and trying new foods... many many things.

Just makes me think that whilst our day to day life causes us to become slightly tunnel visioned, or burdened with the daily stresses in life, we shouldn't forget what we have achieved. And most importantly, to look forward, straight ahead, and keep going. It doesn't matter if there is no clear goal, or things seem uncertain - just look ahead in a direction you feel is right.

Mary Helen Bower

I think this year, I'm becoming more and more myself, going towards a direction with confidence in being me. Knowing what I want, I need, and what I stand for. It doesn't matter how many brick walls I hit on the way, but I know that what has happened will be the reason why I am who I am. Both the good and bad things that happen will make you better if you take time to reflect and improve yourself where suitable.

So... I spent
my weekend and my day off on Monday making lots of 김밥 with my dongsaeng so that we have plenty in the fridge for me to take
to the office in my お弁当 today for lunch (*^~^*). So much fun
and very delicious! Was using different things to make a variety of fillings.
